I purchaced a replacement element for my very old(so old no parts place recognized the model #but I have the appliance manual in my hand so I KNOW it's the right #' and the # is stamped behind the hinge) so I bought a similar(GE WB44X200 element) to my element, however it has a depth(space from mounting plate to electrical contacts) of 2.5 " whereas my original element depth is only approx. 1 inch. There is enough physical room behind the oven to the outer oven wall, and wire to mount the element, but I'm afraid that the excess lenth of element surrounded by the insulation (fiberglss I'm assuming) that it will catch fire (I forgot to mention this is a wall oven).
Thank you,
Tim
